Find your next favorite bottle with precision. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a newcomer to the world of spirits, Triangle Bourbon takes the guesswork out of the liquor aisle. While other apps rely on star ratings, we use a proprietary "Palate Compass" to match you with bourbons based on the three pillars of flavor: Cherry, Vanilla, and Brown Sugar. HOW IT WORKS The Palate Compass: Adjust the interactive sliders to match your preferred flavor profile. Precision Matching: Our algorithm identifies bottles with at least an 80% match to your specific palate. Similar Profiles: Found a bottle you love? Use it as a "North Star" to find other bourbons with a nearly identical flavor DNA. Filter by Budget: Find your match at any price point. THE LIBRARY: Explore a curated database of premium bourbons complete with high-resolution imagery, distillery details, and intricate flavor breakdowns. No more "buying the label." Let Triangle Bourbon guide you to the bottle you were meant to drink.

Find the bourbon you'll actually love. Not the one a banner told you to buy. YOUR BOURBON DNA Answer a few quick questions and Pour Picks builds your palate profile. Sweet or spicy. Easy sipper or cask-strength. The whole shape of how you drink. From there, every bottle in the app gets matched to how YOU actually taste, not how a stranger scored it. Open any bottle and you'll see how it fits your DNA, in plain language. "Leans sweeter than your usual." "Right in your wheelhouse." So the next bottle you buy stops being a guess. SCAN ANY BOTTLE Point your camera at the label. The AI reads it, you confirm or fix it, and it's in your cellar before the next sip. Bourbon, scotch, wine, your weird store-pick rye, your wedding-gift mezcal, anything with a label. For catalogued American whiskeys you also get proof, mash bill, char level, flavor notes, food pairings, and community ratings. Anything outside the catalog still gets a slot, so your cellar stays honest. ONE CELLAR FOR EVERYTHING Wishlist, owned, finished. Quantity, purchase price, total cellar value at a glance. Swap any catalog photo for a shot of your own bottle. Bourbon, wine, tequila, all in one place. SMART MATCH QUIZ For when you're shopping, not pouring. Three questions for the quick read. Nine for the deep cut. Every match comes with the reason it matched. Or skip the questions and just scroll the catalog. TASTING JOURNAL Nose, palate, finish. Pour size, who you shared it with, freeform notes. Edit them as your palate shifts, because it will. FOOD PAIRINGS Two crowd-pleasers and one deep cut for every whiskey in the catalog. CASK CLUB Pour Picks is free to use. The free tier covers ten scans before you'll want to think about Cask Club ($2.99/mo or $24.99/yr), which unlocks: - Unlimited scans - "Find this bottle" deeper AI search - Full cellar filters (wishlist, finished) - Advanced 9-question quiz with top 10 matches - Tasting Journal review composer - Food pairings on every bottle - CSV export of your full tasting archive Cancel anytime in the App Store. WHO THIS IS FOR Bourbon drinkers who keep a real bar. We know American whiskey deeply, and the catalog reflects that. Your wine, your vacation tequila, your friend's mezcal gift all live in the same cellar. That's the point. What you won't find here: a social feed. Bottle-of-the-day pop-ups. Retailer links. Tracking. Pour Picks is independent. Not affiliated with any distillery, retailer, or brand. Built by one person who'd rather you drink less and remember more.
